Chemical Structure

Levofolinate Impurity 8 CAS 4299-32-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 316.32 g/mol gives Levofolinate Impurity 8 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Levofolinate Impurity 8 (CAS 4299-32-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C14H16N6O3, MW 316.32 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C14H16N6O3, Levofolinate Impurity 8 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 316.32 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

CATO manufactures Levofolinate Impurity 8 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
